While Unnaipol Oruvan is geared
up for September release, debutant
director Chakri spoke to the media
recently about working with two
biggest legends of South Indian
cinema quite early in his career.
Having studied Film technology from
the United States, Chakri’s
brush with luck came when he met
Kamal during the shoots of Dasavatharam.
He played Kamal’s friend in
the movie as well and subsequently
invited by him to direct Unnaipol
Oruvan.
“One question I face often
is about the star value of actors
who are part of the remake,”
he said. While ‘A Wednesday’
starred actors with no image quotient,
the Tamil version has two biggest
names in the industry. “But
Kamal and Mohanlal have already
cut loose from the image circle
and done unconventional roles. So
it really doesn’t matter here,”
he added.
